No, it isn’t to boost moral. Who would have thought the most annoying stuff to come out of a can, since Cheze Wiz- could save lives?
DEPTFORD TOWNSHIP, New Jersey (AP) — After months of frustration, a mother of a soldier in Iraq has found someone to ship about 80,000 cans of Silly String to the troops, who use the foamy substance to detect trip wires on bombs.

I had heard about the use of Silly String before, and am glad that they are getting this to help them stay safe…

Now what are they gonna do with 80k cans of silly string?

They spray the cans, and if there are trip wires, the strings will show them. A very great idea for a can of very annoying kids’ crap
